: I agree with almost everything that you wrote except the issue of grocery stores and fruit.
I have found that some of the prepackaged salad mixes work really well especially those with no or little lettuce. The variety seems to stimulate the tortoise. I do think that these are no replacement for outside grazing ( in a pesticide-free area) but for those people who live in a downtown area of a city the grocery store may be the best choice.
As for fruits, I agree that they should not be a staple of the diet. but I think that a small ammount given every few months will do no harm.
